It's about how you use the ones you already have. Kasheesh is reimagining digital payments and modern checkout experiences. Our technology allows you to combine multiple debit, credit or prepaid cards at checkout, anywhere Mastercard is accepted. Kasheesh unlocks access to more of your available funds, helping increase your cash flow, stretch your budget, and avoid hitting card limits. No new lines of credit. No disruption to how or where you shop.\nAbout the Role\n In this role, you'll define what the API looks like, shape the integration strategy, lead the technical components of the go-to-market strategy, and code when needed. You’ll be the person leading technical discussions with potential partners.\nYou'll work closely with our Engineering Manager, Data Engineer, CPO and Head of Partnerships: the Engineering Manager on build\npriorities and architecture,\nthe Data Engineer on integration data flows, the CPO on aligning the API roadmap with broader product strategy,\nand the Head of Partnerships for the technical components of sales pitches.\nThe ideal candidate has already been part of a team that built an API partner ecosystem from scratch. You know what good looks like, you know where the\nlandmines are, and are prepared to own the function here.\nKasheesh operates under sponsor bank oversight as a regulated card program. You'll be building within that compliance framework daily. Card network rules, KYC/AML obligations, and data privacy constraints will shape what you can build, what you can promise partners, and how fast you can move. Experience navigating this environment is required.\nResponsibilities\nBe an integral part of the sales process by leading technical conversations and developing the materials needed to support the sales process\nDesign and own the architecture of Kasheesh's partner-facing API including what endpoints should look like, expected responses, and the overall developer experience\nOwn the API product roadmap and work with the engineering team to ensure what gets built serves both partners and the business\nWrite detailed technical requirements and translate them into actionable specs for the engineering team\nBuild and own Kasheesh's API integration strategy: how partners connect, how they onboard based on their type and complexity, and how quickly we get them live\nCreate the partner-facing documentation, sandbox environments, and frameworks partners need to integrate successfully\nBuild the internal playbooks and infrastructure for a repeatable, scalable partner program\nWrite code when needed to prototype, validate or unblock integrations\nQualifications\nExperience owning the technical narrative in a business development or sales process\nHands-on experience building or working directly with production APIs\nExperience writing technical requirements and owning an API product roadmap\nProficiency in at least one backend language\nDirect experience building an API partnership ecosystem or function at a SaaS startup from 0 to 1\nExperience building in a regulated fintech environment is required. You understand how card network rules, KYC/AML obligations, sponsor bank oversight,and data privacy constraints shape what can be built, promised, and delivered to partners\n\nComfortable setting honest expectations with partners about what the API can do, what it cannot, and what it would take to get there\nAbility to get work done in ambiguity and energized by building structure where none exists\nWhat Success Looks Like\nThis is a build-from-scratch role with real ownership. The milestones below reflect what we expect from someone who hits the ground running, earns trust quickly, and builds with intention.\n90 Days\nEstablished working relationships with Engineering Manager, Data Engineer, CPO, and Head of Partnerships\nWorking knowledge of the sponsor bank relationship and compliance constraints, demonstrated through at least one internal compliance discussion\nInitial API architecture assessment completed, identifying gaps between current capabilities and what partners will need, delivered to the Engineering Manager and CPO\nFirst draft of the API product roadmap and integration strategy presented to and approved by the CPO\nFirst technical sales conversation completed alongside the Head of Partnerships with supporting sales materials developed\n6 Months\nIntegration strategy finalized and approved including partner tiers, onboarding paths by partner type, and time-to-live targets\nSandbox environment and partner-facing documentation live\nGTM strategy finalized and aligned with the Head of Partnerships\nAt least one partner integration underway\n12 Months\nFirst partner integrations live and consistently hitting time-to-live targets\nAt least two additional partner integrations underway\nRepeatable onboarding playbook and internal partner program infrastructure in place\nAPI product roadmap actively influencing engineering priorities","description_format":"text","description_chars":4982,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cards & Card Issuing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T14:29:22Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":132500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.314,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":63,"expected_fill_days":20,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/kasheesh-technical-product-manager-api-partnerships","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/kasheesh-technical-product-manager-api-partnerships.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T02:57:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4582,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":681371},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=681371"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fkasheesh-technical-product-manager-api-partnerships"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fkasheesh-technical-product-manager-api-partnerships"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fkasheesh-technical-product-manager-api-partnerships"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/kasheesh-technical-product-manager-api-partnerships\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fkasheesh-technical-product-manager-api-partnerships"}]}
